Rhostyllen Community Hall, Nr Wrexham
Firm
Provision of a Community Hall is a key component of The National Trust’s 223 dwelling extension to the village of Rhostyllen near Wrexham. The location, form and accommodation to be provided have been the subject of extensive consultation between The Trust and Esclusham Community Council. The Hall is situated at the end of the new square in the centre of the new development but close to the existing village. A paved terrace immediately outside the south west side of the building and a garden beyond surrounded by railings are intended to be used in conjunction with activities in the Hall, such as a craft market on the terrace and a playgroup in the garden. The architecture of the Community Hall is particularly influenced by buildings in the Chester area designed by the architect John Douglas at the end of the 19th century. The two storey building is oak framed, sitting on a masonry base and the roof is covered in Welsh slate. The main hall is on the ground floor with an entrance foyer, kitchen, WC’s, equipment stores, refuse store and plant room. A staircase and 8-person lift in the foyer lead to the upper floor which houses a smaller hall, office, meeting room, library/IT room, store, kitchenette and WC’s. As part of the 10% renewable contribution to the development, a solar thermal direct hot water system is to be fitted to the building and heating is to be provided by a wood pellet boiler. Rainwater from the roof of the building will be collected in an underground tank and used to irrigate the garden and to flush WC’s and urinals within the building.
